Hi all, just the mandatory post... I am a big pre-Euro 4 Volvo fan and somebody who grew up with TWM Volvo B10Ls, Metrobuses and Presidents. Hopefully I can make some contributions of my own to this great forum.

Thank you 2206, I was a fan of the Presidents too even though I do prefer the B7/ALX, it would still have been nice for a few presidents to keep going a little longer.

Thank you Jack! I miss them too, modern buses seem so dull in comparison.
